a.  When a fair die is thrown, numbers 1 through 6 would appear with equal probability of 1/6. The mean is 3.5 and variance is 2.92.

If 57 dice are thrown, what is the variance of their sum?

b .

When a fair die is thrown, numbers 1 through 6 would appear with equal probability of 1/6. The mean is 3.5 and variance is 2.92.

If 40 dice are thrown, what is the mean of their sum?

c.

Let X be a Normal random variable with mean 30 and standard deviation 8.  Find its 60th percentile (i.e. find a number y such that P(X < y) = 0.6)

(provide one digit to the right of decimal point)

d.

Let X be a Normal random variable with mean 30 and standard deviation 8.  Find P(32 < X < 40).   (provide four digits to the right of the decimal point)

An ordinary (fair) die is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a die is rolled twice in succession and that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment. Compute the probability of each of the following events. Event A: The sum is greater than 9. Event B: The sum is not...
